Welcome
To
Meramec Farm Cabins and Horseback Trail Rides in MO.

Come relax and stay in a lovely cabin while experiencing gaited
horseback trail riding through Missouri's Ozark hills and valleys and along
the banks of the pristine Upper Meramec River.

Ride for an hour or for days.

Numerous horseback riding trails grace the countryside near our working
family farm, nestled in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. You will find that
each season offers spectacular beauty and an abundance of nature-related
activities and trailrides.

5 acre
gravel bar and many places to swim/access the river from the farm.

A
Setting for All Seasons

The
470-acre Meramec Farm is located on a bend of the beautiful, spring-fed
Meramec River. It's truly a setting for all seasons--meadows graced with
wildflowers in the spring, summer respites in cool caves within the towering
Vilander bluffs, wooded hillsides splashed with autumn's red, orange and
gold, and winter's intimate stillness after a snowfall. No matter what
the season, Meramec Farm is a place for peace and discovery, far away
from the pressures of everyday life.

For HorsebackTrail Riding
Enthusiasts...

Meramec
Farm is horse friendly. With advance notice, guests may bring their
own horses. Many special rides are available on gaited breeds, on our
farm and nearby farms and trails. We have Missouri Fox Trotter, Tennessee
Walker and Peruvian Paso breeds for your trailriding enjoyment. Carol
will help make the arrangements and is often available to lead the tour.

Miles of trails climb the rugged bluffs and wooded hills, cross open fields
and follow the rivers course. The high panoramas and river views are magnificent!

Abundant Wildlife
& Friendly Farm Animals

Wildlife abounds at Meramec
Farm. The woods are home to wild turkey, white-tailed deer and many
other native Missouri animals. Great Blue Herons nest in the sycamores.
Bass and trout flourish in the Meramec River and nearby streams. Since
Meramec Farm is a working farm, animals considerably less wild are usually
about, much to the delight of children and guests of all ages who visit
the farm. Grazing cattle, frolicking calves, horses, foals, mules, chickens,
cats and dogs make their home here. Guests are invited to take the ever-popular
cow tour--a ride into the herds to see and feed the cattle.

A
Working Family Farm

Meramec
Farm has been welcoming guests since 1982. But its been a working farm
since 1811, when William Harrison left Kentucky, swam his cattle across
the Mississippi and started his new farm on the Meramec River. During
its more than 180 years, Meramec Farm has remained in the same family.
Today, the sixth and seventh generations of that family, raise cattle
and hay, proudly continuing the family farm tradition.
